feat(settings): how many changes wait to sync

The Sync card in Settings says how many changes made on this device
haven't reached the server yet: "3 changes wait to sync", in place of
"Everything synced" until a sync takes them, and beside a failure.

The sync engine can't tell, since the server only says what it has at
the start of each sync, so the app counts: every save asks for a sync,
and a sync that goes through takes the saves made before it started.
The count is kept in the person's folder, so it outlives the app.

- **Every synced table indexes `spaceId`** (`indexes: <table>_space_idx: fields: spaceId`, e.g. `studyset.spy.yaml`): deleting a space cascades into every synced table, and Postgres doesn't index foreign keys by itself, so account deletion and pruning would otherwise read whole tables.
- **The client's local migration** (in `halkyon_learn_client/lib/migrations/`, written by the same `create-migration`) creates the device's SQLite schema from the whole definition, so it also contains the server's own tables. Only the synced tables and the bookkeeping ever hold data on a device.
- **Older apps** can't be made to update once published. Before the first sync of each launch the app asks whether the server still works with its build (`minimumAppBuild` in `instance.info()`, from `lib/src/instance/app_compatibility.dart` in the server; the build is the number after `+` in the app's version), and the sync engine refuses an app whose synced tables differ from the server's. Both end in `AppServerMismatchException` (`core/sync/`), and the app says so: a banner on Home and the Sync card in Settings. Raise `minimumAppBuild` in the commit that breaks older apps (an endpoint they call changes or goes), to the build of the first app that works again; a change to the synced tables needs no raise. Every release raises the build number.
- **Where sync stands** is `SyncService.status` (syncing, the last sync that went through, the last failure; since the app started), which `SyncStatusBloc` (`core/sync/`, provided by `PersonApp`) hands to the trouble dot on the Settings cogs (on Home and Profile; no tab carries it), the Sync card in Settings and the banner on Home. Only the last outcome counts: one sync that goes through clears a failure. The Library's Refresh and pulling it down sync now (`syncAndWait`, which a pull's spinner waits on).

Only the last outcome counts: one sync that goes through clears a failure. It also counts the changes not on the server yet (`pending`): every save asks for a sync (`requestSync`), and a sync that goes through takes those saved before it started; the engine can't say, since the server only tells it at the start of a sync what it has. The count is kept in `sync_pending.json` in the person's folder (`PendingChangesStore`) and shown on the Sync card. The Library's Refresh and pulling it down sync now (`syncAndWait`, which a pull's spinner waits on).
- **Serverpod's version moves together with `serverpod_offline_sync`**, which allows only a narrow range of Serverpod (v0.0.10: `>=4.0.4 <4.1.0`; v0.0.8 pinned v4.0.0 exactly, which the root `pubspec.yaml` overrode until 2026-10-09). Every package pins Serverpod's packages to one version: upgrade them all together with the sync packages and the CLI version CI generates code with (`SERVERPOD_VERSION` in `.forgejo/workflows/ci.yaml`), after reading the sync package's changelog. Never override a version the sync package doesn't allow without checking what changed in `serverpod_database`, which it builds on.
- **The source-code link**: both licences require offering the source of what an instance runs to the people who use it. `instance.info().sourceCodeUrl` names it (the operator's `SOURCE_URL`, else this project's repository) and the app's About dialog shows it next to the licences and every package's notice. Keep it working when changing the dialog or the endpoint.
- **Public profiles** (ADR 0005, stage 1 of the public tier): `public_profile` (`serverOnly`, never sent; the app gets a `Profile`, without the person's id) holds a handle (Mastodon's rules: 1 to 30 letters, digits or underscores, unique whatever their case through `handleKey`, a few reserved for the instance; changeable until the first publish, `firstPublishedAt`), a display name, a bio, up to 4 links and an avatar. `ProfileEndpoint` (`identified` only: a profile is for others to see) reads, saves and removes the caller's own; `ProfilesEndpoint` finds anyone's by handle. Handles are on the account domain (`ACCOUNT_DOMAIN`, else the server's public host; `instance.info().accountDomain`), which can never change once anyone follows a handle on it. An avatar is a PNG of at most 1 MB that the app draws anew from the picture chosen (`avatarPng`, so a photo's metadata never leaves the device), kept in the public storage at `avatars/<SHA-256>.png`, named by its content so its URL tells nothing about whose it is, and deleted once no profile shows it. In the app, the Profile tab holds it as a form, for people with an identity.
